NCL Holding Blood Drive

The National Charity League, Glendale Chapter, is partnering with the American Red Cross and the Crescenta-Cañada YMCA to host its 14th annual From The Heart Red Cross Blood Drive on June 28. The blood drive will be held at the Crescenta-Cañada YMCA, 1930 Foothill Blvd., from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

At each blood drive or donation center, Red Cross employees follow thorough safety protocols, including wearing gloves and basic face masks; wiping down donor-touched areas after every collection; using sterile collection sets for every donation; preparing the arm for donation with aseptic scrub; and conducting donor mini-physicals to ensure donors are healthy and well on day of donation. Only eligible and healthy people are allowed to give blood. These mitigation measures will help ensure blood recipient safety, as well as staff and donor safety.

To maintain social distancing, appointments and masks are required.

To schedule a donation, use the Red Cross blood donor app, visit RedCrossBlood.org or call (800) RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) and using sponsor code “nclglendale.”

GWP Announces Power Outages

Glendale Water & Power (GWP) announced that small power outages are planned to give the utility a chance to upgrade critical infrastructure before hot summer temperatures hit. Upgrades have begun and some small outages have already taken place. GWP crews will continue to work on upgrades to make sure that power interruptions are minimized during the summer when demand is at its highest.

As a reminder, customers affected by these outages will be notified 48 hours in advance via door hanger. Customers affected by larger outages may also receive postcards one week in advance. Outage information will be posted on GWP social media channels.
